The Chesson strain of Plasmodium vivax in Aotus monkeys and anopheline mosquitoes. 1980

W E Collins, and M Warren, and P G Contacos, and J C Skinner, and B B Richardson, and T S Kearse

The Chesson strain of Plasmodium vivax was studied in Aotus trivirgatus monkeys. Parasitemia in intact and splenectomized animals was similar to that reported for this strain in man. Comparative infectivity studies with mosquitoes fed on infected monkeys indicated that the most susceptible was Anopheles freeborni, followed by An. balabacensis, An. culicifacies, An. maculatus, An. atroparvus, An. stephensi, An. quadrimaculatus, and An. albimanus. Transmissions via sporozoites from An. maculatus was demonstrated on two occasions; prepatent periods were 30 and 32 days.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species.
